Thanks guys, I already found all the supermarket threads but I was expecting a dedicated thread here in superdenim.

After seeing Knugget's first link a light came on and I realized Superfashion was more appropriate.

Hi, guys & gals. I Have a pair of the old SC1945 lee which are discontinued. Unfortunately they fit a little tight at the waist, which are 34-35". Does any one know if they are Sanforized & wont shrink after wash. I am hesitant to sell them cus of my love affair with them & there exclusivity. Should I hold onto them in hopes of losing weight. Or sell them down the line & get a similar cut from Samurai,Warehouse,or McCoy. Help needed. Thanks.

BTW I would be interested in trades for a 37 or 38 after shrinkage of course has taken place. Or any reasonable offers will be considered .

Thanks for you patience and input. So here is you opportunity for a great pair of lefty denim, In my opinion are the greastest denim SC has come out with in a while. Any offers will be considered. Cash or Trade. Thanks "ALV".

Hi guys,

Looking for recommendations on a fit that's something in between a slim cut (SDA-103/FH3001) and a full cut (Warehouse?).

Thanks in advance!

Gentelmen,

I'm looking for jeans that are a carbon copy to the APC New Standard. I wear a tagged 31, and would appreciate any advice.

[ranonranonarat]

i know that tagged size 33 LVCs actually shrink to 31 inches in the waist. what about the inseam lengths that are tagged a 32? do they shrink to 29 inches (assuming the usual 3 inch shrink in the inseam) or even shorter?

I think LVC inseam shrinks ~2 inches

[SLAB]

yeah about 2 inches shrinkage on the inseam but my lvc 44's never shrank 2" in the waist though (less than an inch in fact)

[guitarinet]

does anyone know if the one wash service big offers changes the denim apperance? like does it make it softer or make the denim look different than beofre the wash?

[Bomull]

No. It probably wont change the color and it will certainly not make them softer.

[Guest Midnite8]

What denim has a medium to high rise, is slubby and is under 250?

[ke1]

Can someone explain the difference between soaking large jeans to fit, as opposed to simply sizing down in jeans and waiting for them to stretch out?

I see people initial soaking their Iron Hearts because they're too big, but why not just buy jeans that fit smaller to begin with?

[ke1]

Also, how do people get such perfect stacks? Do they purposely adjust them constantly until they settle the way they want? The stacks of both legs are substantially different, and don't look all that symmetrical or great.

[Solix]

It's usually better in general to have a bit extra than too little. Same can be applied to denim. Having a pair that you have to wait to stretch often involves some discomfort. Denim also tends to shrink more and more with age, so even though your body may not change, you might one day feel that your jeans shrank a bit too much after a wash. But in the end, it's all subjective.

Stacks are honestly quite random. For some people they'll fall perfectly, while for others they just come out really sloppy. The slimmer the fit though, the better the chance that you'll end up with a more uniform stack.

[Guest redchris]

Hello,

can anyone give me a link to a web page which outlines the chronology of Lee pocket tabs . I am in dispute with an ebay seller who has sold me supposed 50's vintage Lees. Cheers

[beatle]

Soaking is important for the integrity of the fibers. Plus - once you wash a jeans that you wore in raw state for a long time the whiskers and creases will shift position ( shorter inseam bla bla bla) and it might look off.

Raw denim should always be soaked before you start wearing it.

[guitarinet]

do ande whall rakers fit similarly to apc new cures or petite standards? Thanks

[ke1]

Raw denim should always be soaked before you start wearing it.

What if I went the "size down 3 so that it barely fits" route? Pretty much screwed there right?

[beatle]

after you're first wash, pretty much...

[ke1]

lol, I like my jeans a bit tight anyways.

thanks for the explanation though beat, will rep one of your sick fits one of these days.
